Pros

Large company, very diverse culture. Not much more good thing I can say about it.

Cons

Zero transparency between management and employees. New CEO is basically removing position through attrition. Long hours with little benefit. Bonus does not reflect how hard you work. Yearly performance review is a joke, basically company moto is, an average rating is a great rating. Perfect reason to give you less than 1% raise. Yea, after 3 years of working here, I basically lost about 10% of my salary through inflection.

Pros

From home and relaxed working environment

Cons

They never know when the project will end or start so you can’t line up other work. Projected end 16th and we end 10 days early? Thats a lot of wages now I don’t have.
